Chapter 286: The Space that Carries All Things, True Martial Body With Three Heads and Six Arms (II)
Over the past few days, Chen Chu had attempted this process over a hundred times. Although each attempt showed some progress, he felt that the conflicts grew more intense the further he went.
Despite the difficulty, however, the potential rewards of a successful fusion would be immense. So, after a short rest, Chen Chu continued to test and construct his own path. Even if the runes repeatedly collapsed and caused spiritual shocks, he remained undeterred. The allure of a True Martial Body stronger than any ordinary secret scripture provided Chen Chu with boundless motivation.
Moreover, he had a significant advantage over other cultivators of the Sixth Heavenly Realm. His spiritual force was dozens of times more robust, and due to his powerful soul, his spiritual will was extremely resilient.
While others would need to rest and recover after a few collapses a day, he could endure dozens, even hundreds of attempts without stopping.
Over two hours later, as the plane pierced an invisible barrier, all cultivators above the Third Heavenly Realm suddenly felt the transcendent energy of the world become thin. It was like moving from a lush forest into a barren wasteland, with the fresh, moist air turning dry and somewhat uncomfortable.
"We've left the borders of East Xia."
"So this is what our teacher meant when he said the world outside is different from our own."
In the rear of the cabin, some martial arts school youths, who were traveling abroad for the first time, were excited and thrilled.
In contrast, Chen Chu, who had known this beforehand, remained very calm. Even he, however, had been quite surprised when he had first experienced it.
Chen Chu opened his eyes, fatigue evident in them, and frowned slightly at the wordless book in his hand.
Yan Ruoyi, noticing his expression, curiously asked, "Uncle Ling mentioned that you are creating your own secret scripture. Are you having difficulties?"
Chen Chu shook his head slightly. "More than just difficulties. I haven’t even constructed the foundation for the True Martial Phantom."
"That’s odd." Yan Ruoyi looked puzzled. "Uncle Ling told me that you practice the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body, and that you also used the Divine Might Dragon Elephant secret scripture as a reference.
"Given that both arts share the same origin, and that the core true martial runes are of the same type, creating your own secret scripture should be smoother, shouldn’t it?"
"Of course, if you can merge these powers, the resulting power would naturally be terrifying, akin to the fusion of laws. But so far, no one has achieved that."
Chen Chu nodded slowly. "It’s a bit like building mechs."
Yan Ruoyi nodded. "Exactly. Over in West Meng, they follow the path of external carriers, using mechs to bear their true martial art. However, while this makes their mechs very powerful, they become overly reliant on external objects. By the time they reach the Eighth or Ninth Heavenly Realm, this path becomes extremely difficult.
"The beast-human fusion path in North Lin can also offer many insights. After the Seventh Heavenly Realm, they can even use their True Martial Phantom to transform into colossal beasts.
"You still have two secret scripture slots left. I think you should consider choosing one from North Lin and one from West Meng. Your cultivation is only at the beginning stage of the Sixth Heavenly Realm. There’s no need to be so impatient. Taking your time to perfect your path will lead to greater success."
Yan Ruoyi’s words enlightened Chen Chu.
Yes, if fusion isn’t possible, then I might as well piece together a humanoid True Martial Phantom using myself as the blueprint.
I can use the Divine Might Dragon Elephant runes as the core, the Defense, Agility, and Regeneration abilities of the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast as the body, and the Strength, Blue Thunder, and Golden Flames to form six arms. And to make it look better, I can design it to have three heads and six arms.
Of course, this combination wasn't just a simple assembly; it would involve the fusion and linking of various ability runes. For this, he could refer to North Lin’s genetic secret scriptures and West Meng’s mech-based true martial arts, which should solve the problem.
Luckily, since he hadn't fully understood the Divine Might Dragon Elephant secret scripture yet, he hadn't applied for other secret scriptures. Now, he could use the two slots perfectly.
As for a shell that could encompass everything, what was more suitable than the innate spatial rune? He could even reconstruct it with the innate spatial rune as the core foundation.
Alternatively, he could build the three-headed, six-armed True Martial Battle Body based on space, using the Thunder Beast’s abilities as the core, without merging the Dragon Elephant.
This method could indeed work. The reason he hadn’t thought of it earlier was that he had read too few books, and until now, had been stuck in a fixed mindset.
A smile appeared on Chen Chu’s face.
